Lin Not Going Down Without a Fight
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Dmitry Gromov opened to 30,000 from middle position and Jianwei Lin defended from the big blind, leaving himself just 58,000 behind.
The flop came A♣8♣9♠. Lin checked, Gromov bet 15,000, Lin moved all in and Gromov called to put him at risk.
Jianwei Lin: A♠6♥
Dmitry Gromov: 10♦9♦
"If I win, do I get your tiger?" Gromov joked, referencing Lin's card protector. Gromov picked up a straight draw to go along with his pair of nines on the 7♣ turn but the K♠ river was a brick and Lin secured a much-needed double up through Gromov.
